The popular compact SUVs from Tata, Nexon and Punch, are expected to get big upgrades and here we have explained about them
Tata Motors has drawn up an aggressive roadmap that will introduce as many as 30 new passenger vehicles over the next few years. The plan stretches deep into the decade covering all-new products alongside full generational upgrades for existing models. A major thrust will also be placed on expanding its EV lineup.
The brand has earmarked seven new nameplates as part of its upcoming product blitz comprising a wide spectrum of categories and price points. The list includes the much-awaited comeback of the Sierra, the Avinya flagship EV lineup and a new compact SUV that could be christened Scarlet. Yet, the most buzz is building around the sub-four-metre SUVs in the works which are expected to play a crucial role in the volume space.
Tata is said to be progressing quickly on the third-gen Nexon – internally codenamed Garud. It is tipped to ride on an extensively updated version of the familiar X1 platform which should translate to clear improvements in driving dynamics and comfort compared to the present model. Alongside the mechanical upgrades, the SUV is also expected to receive a complete design overhaul with major updates both to the exterior styling and the cabin.

The upcoming Nexon is likely to embrace a more eye-catching design on the exterior while the cabin is set to see a notable jump in quality, ergonomics and premium feel. Tata could load it with a richer feature list – possibly adding Level 2 ADAS along with a heavily updated infotainment system and digital cluster.
Although development seems to be advancing steadily, the market introduction may still be a couple of years down the road while the facelifted Nexon EV is also in the pipeline for the future. Tata is moving ahead with updates to the Punch as camouflaged prototypes have been caught testing multiple times in recent months. The sightings indicate that a facelift is in the works – set to bring styling tweaks along with a revised features list.

Many of the updates on the upcoming Punch facelift are likely to mirror what we’ve already seen on the Punch EV which means the petrol version could receive a more advanced features list. Tata is reportedly eyeing a launch before the end of this year while a revised Punch EV, already one of India’s top-selling electric cars, is expected to follow in 2026.
Alongside the new iteration of the Nexon and Punch in their ICE and EV guises, Tata is also said to be working on a brand new compact SUV, rumoured to be called Scarlet. Early reports suggest its design could borrow cues from the upcoming Sierra with upright proportions and tall pillars enabling a roomy cabin. When launched, it is expected to slot into the crowded compact SUV segment, taking direct aim at rivals like the Kia Syros.
